AFC Telford season ticket sales to pass 500

Season ticket sales at AFC Telford United are set to crash through the 500 barrier as expectant supporters look ahead to the club's second campaign back in the top flight of non-league football.

The Blue Square Premier club are on the brink of bursting through the landmark figure over the next few days.

And they are confident of at least matching last season's tally of just under 600 sales.

Bucks officials have also extended the early bird deadline for reduced prices to July 8, the date of the club's open day.

"We are in line with those experienced last season and we are absolutely delighted with the renewal figures," said a club statement.

"We have been steady at around 600 and I would expect us to be around that again."
